Mixed-version replication systems

In a replication system that includes Replication Server versions 12.0 through 15.2, and for which the site version is set to its software release level and the system version is 1102 or higher, each Replication Server can use all the features of its release. Such a system is called a mixed-version system.

In a mixed-version system, interaction between Replication Servers of different version levels is limited, and information associated with new features may not be available to Replication Servers of earlier versions. Replication Servers of the same version can exchange full information about the software features they support.

Replication Server 15.2 uses the Replication Manager (RM) plug-in to upgrade routes.The RM plug-in provides a list of all the routes that require an upgrade. You can select a single route to be updated.

See Chapter 6, “Managing Routes” in the Replication Server Administration Guide Volume 1, for more information on routes. For a full description of the route upgrade commands, see Chapter 3, “Replication Server Commands” in the Replication Server Reference Manual.
